Can anyone confirm what is acceptable for IVA test with regards to locking the dual brake bias bar.

A) Drilled and locked with a roll pin
B) Drilled, locked with a roll pin and a locking nut
C) As above but locking nut drilled and locked with locking wire
D) Locked with a nut and welded
C) All of the above

I would add that having been working on the pedal box in situ and brake bias eventually locked (somehow) I wont be venturing there ever again as I have a bruised rib and a stiff neck/shoulders and a sore thigh from climbing in and out whilst lying at different angles. I knew the process would be hard but not this bl*~dy painful

Hi
We had my car SVA tested.
During the test they said the position was not locked. We said test the brakes and if the position is acceptable we will drill and roll pin in position which we did and at retest they checked the roll pins were fitted.

I just read the IVA manual and it specifies wire locking.
Which would appear an easier method,

This would probably
Y work in conjunction with the do not adjust sticker from Car Builder Solutions

But I have heard of some testers insisting on nuts welded in place. They seem to like making rules up as they go

Ian thank you, Iíll go with this and work forward if necessary, many thanks

I strongly advise you check with the test center you will be using as Ian is correct when he says they seem to require it welding so as it can't be changed. Don't forget the sticker and also the one stating the brake fluid in use.

If you are getting your car tested at Chadderton , my bias bar had a nut one end two nuts the other with one of the two nuts having a washer welded to it. This washer was wire locked to the brake pedal. I also had a CBS sticker stating no adjustment should be made.
